努力

紀念一下六個月的努力。
還因此到了總統禮拜堂一遊。
回家還一個人鏟雪。

媽媽很感動。

Things to do when you are in danger

Me: R I saw you watching a video at school today. What were you watching?

R: We were watching things to do when you are in danger. 

Me: Oh I see. What type of dangerous things?

R: Like boiling water when there is a wolf trying to enter from the chimney.

M: ....爸爸什麼時候發...霉?

Ski des

吃叉燒肉時 M 突然冒出一句 ski des。問他是什麼意思他說是喜歡。確實他愛吃叉燒肉。看來每天早上被他在聽 EZ Japan 日語教學CD 吵醒也是有意義的。

Western Day

Me: M tomorrow's spirit day theme is Western Day.
M: What's Reston Day?
Me: No it's Western Day and you dress up like a cowboy.
M: But I don't have a horse!

Later:
Me: So cowboys wear bandana on their neck but when they want to rob a bank, they put it over their mouth.
R: Let me see the banana!!

Grapefruit

Me: Kids have some grapefruit
M:  Is it made of grape?

Difference

媽媽:台灣有地震
弟弟:什麼是地震?
媽媽解釋地震
媽媽:這個就是台灣跟我們那裡的不同
弟弟:我們那裡有 seasons(四季) but 台灣沒有。台灣 is hot and even winter is hot too
媽媽:誰告訴你的?
弟弟:我自己知道的

悶熱到小朋友下了這種結論 and it's not even summer yet
